Geeking Out

  • Fionna and Cake fans, rejoice! The genderswapped Adventure Time is getting its own comic series. 
  • More genderswapped awesomeness: this Game of Thrones crossplay.
  • 20 sided deliciousness.
  • Facebook is getting a “Want” button for retailers, proving geeks are taking over the world.
  • The Humble eBook Bundle includes books by John Scalzi, Kelly Link, and Mercedes Lackey among others, and you get to set your price and control what share goes to charity.
  • An adorable, well thought out website promoting Pixar’s newest venture! Yay Monsters!
  • A baby Koala and a joey become best marsupial buddies. Think that’s cute enough? THINK AGAIN. BABY WOMBAT!
  • Owls, man, how do they work?
  • “Taken together, these studies failed to provide clear evidence in support of the existence of a specific premenstrual negative mood syndrome in the general population.” Thank you, NIH.
  • We’re cheering for these scrappy Kung Fu Grannies from Kenya, who have decided to fight back against rapists (some as young as their grandsons) by taking up self defense.
  • In further women’s separatist movements, while we’ve seen coverage before, we still can’t stop admiring the Asgarda: a tribe of women in Ukraine who study martial arts, cultivate land, and live in Amazonian autonomy.
  • This is a sadness waffle drowned in Blargh syrup.
  • Sad YouTube uncovers meaningful comments on music videos and reminds us that not everyone commenting on the internet is a shameless troll. (found via)
  • We can’t stop talking about The Mindy Project, body rolls, and Danny Castellano & Mindy Lahiri as our new favorite OTP! Dig the unofficial-official Tumblr, which also pointed us to that cute Modcloth shirt Mindy wore in Ep. 2.
  • While there are many ways to measure intelligence and competence, the fact that a 12 year girl has an IQ higher than Einstein and Hawking is still pretty awesome!
  • We’re trying not to roll our eyes too hard, lest they get stuck, while reading the trial transcript (PDF download) of Fisher v. University of Texas. This letter on Clutch Mag captures our feelings perfectly.
